Unhappy omp lines

So I have officially looked everywhere for answers and I've had dreadfull luck. If you think it's easy to find, call me an idiot, tell me where, and move along. I just for the life of me can't find anything.

I need to replace the omp lines as one of them has snapped and the other looks in rough shape. Where can I find them? I found a write-up about it in the archives, but that was for a 2nd gen which is a totally different system all-together. Should I just premix in the mean-time?

Cheap DIY -> Racer X-8's DIY Rebuilding the MOP Lines

Super nice and durable -> Karack's Stainless Steel MOP Lines

OEM replacement -> Mazda Trix: Oil Injection Parts


You can premix pretty easily if you have a series four MOP. (Mechanical MOP.) - It is doable with the S5 MOP, as long as you have a standalone EMS. Unplugging the S5 electric MOP will put the stock ECU into 'limp mode'.

This is a pretty insightful premix thread. -> https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...ight=Premixing

From what I've read...
- Use TCW-3 two stroke oil. (Synthetic two stroke costs more.)
- Anywhere from 0.5oz to 1oz oil, per gallon of gas.
- Add the oil first. Then pump gas.

Oops, I'm so very sorry. I forgot to write that I had a 1st gen GSL. (which is why I couldn't use the write-up from the archives which was about 2nd gens) Luckily, Lawless1 put up a thread about these lines at just about the same time I was trying to and someone mentioned atkins rotary sold them for $33 and some change.

Until then, yeah, I'm definitely going premix until I get it all settled and ship-shape and even for a bit longer just to be safe. (It apparently takes a long time for the lines to fill with oil to the carburetor)

Thanks guys!

even after you change the lines you have to premix for about 2 full tanks of fuel.

no one mentions this, because it's easy to forget it take several weeks and hundred of miles for the lines to prime.
